Objectives

To estimate the association between obesity, central obesity and depression in a population sample of Greek type 2 diabetic patients.

Methods

A total of 200 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in the study. They were stratified according to sex, obesity and central obesity (BMI≥30 Kgr/m2, waist>102cm in men and >88cm in women). Beck Depression Inventory II scale was used to establish the presence of a depressive disorder (DD).

Results

The frequency of DD among the whole population was 31.5% (34.6% for the female vs. 26% for the male patients, p=0.207). BMI was statistically significant increased in depressive diabetic patients compared to non depressive diabetics, in the total (p=0.003), in women (p=0.013), but not in men (p=0.200). In addition, DD rates were statistically significant increased in diabetic patients with central obesity compared to those without central obesity, in the total (p=0.011) and in men (p=0.014). In female diabetic patients, DD was not related to central obesity (p=0.489).

Conclusions

Our data support a strong association between type 2 diabetes and depression in Greek patients. A significant association between obesity and depression is also observed in type 2 diabetic patients. Increased BMI is strongly related to depressive type 2 diabetic women, while central obesity is more related to depressive type 2 diabetic men.
